Check the math please

While I was not a math major, I did pretty well in this subject so help me here, did some one check these numbers?

"One in 10 people says they or a member of their household has paid a bribe in the past year, according to a global opinion survey published on Thursday."

Okay; 1 in 10, that is 10% right.

"It was followed by Nigeria, Kenya, Lithuania and Moldova - all countries where at least one in three people admitted paying bribes."

Okay; 1 in 3, that is 33% right.

Now isn’t 33% more than 10% ??
